Russia: President Putin Meets President of Laos – Thongloun Sisoulith! (11.5.2026)

The Second World War became the greatest tragedy in the human history. During the war the Soviet Union was the main battleground in Europe, standing shoulder to shoulder with China fought in the Far East.

It was the USSR that took the main blow of Hitler’s Germany and satellites united under its banners and played the key role in destruction of fascism and militarism. Soviet people, having overcome the hardships created by the treacherous invasion, having endured through all horrors of that war, engaged in fierce combat with aggressors and paid the cost of innumerable lives to gain the Great Victory.

This triumph was ultimately significant for the whole world – the defeat of Nazi Germany and militaristic Japan signified the end of claims of the disciples of the inhumane ideology of fascism to global domination, their intentions to enslave whole nations.
